new horizons of film education

about us

New Horizons Association is a non-gevernemental organization based in Warsaw and Wroclaw in Poland. Our main activity is T-mobile New Horizons International Film Festival - festival aimed to directors who search for new ways of expression in cinema language. Apart of the festival we do a number of different projects - all based around art-house cinema & film education.

for whom: kindergartens, primary, middle and secondary schoolsDuring the school year 2017/2018 we are working together with cinemas in 43 cities.It’s the 12th edition of our young audience project and it is open for pupils of all ages (at the age between: 3-6, 7-10, 11-13, 14-16, and 17-19 years old). Each age category has a two or three-year autonomous programme and 40 thousand pupils from 1800 schools participated in the last year’s edition. Meetings take place in a cinema during the school time. The programme is supported by Ministry of National Education, Polish Film Institute, Children's Ombudsman in Poland and Europa Cinemas. Each group has seven meetings during the school year. Our main goal is to make young people more familiar with the language and history of film, as well as to encourage them to visit cinema more often. We also emphasise the sociological and psychological issues in the films. The programme is primarily based on Polish and European films and each screening is accompanied by a lecture on the subject. Apart from feature films, we show documentaries and animated shorts and, if possible, we organise meetings with directors and film professionals.

for whom:kindergartens, primary, middle, and secondary schoolsSince 2010 New Horizon Association regularly have been buying films for young audience which hadn’t been distributed in Poland before. These films are shown in the New Horizon of Film Education project. This kind of educational projections of “the little distribution” might be organized in every cinemas, community centers or libraries. Purchaser not only get a film copy but also get some educational materials. The price is a lump sum . For more information about payment contact us via e-mail. In recent years in Poland only few films for teen have been made. The repertoire is dominated by foreign movies, especially by hollywood super productions. Meanwhile in Europe every year lots of films for kids and teenagers is coming out. These films are awarded at film festivals, but .unfortunately they don’t get polish cinema. New Horizon aim to include into its educational program films which treat young people as responsive and curious about the world. It’s a program dedicated solely to the development of scripts and production basics of films for young audiences. Our goal is to support the production of ambitious movies for children aged 4-12 years, based on the highest artistic and production standards of European cinema. First project from previous edition of our program is already in production (The real trouble, dir. M. Karwowska), next project applied for funds to Polish Film Institute. Kids Film.Pro/Kino Dzieci.Pro works with 8 teams (scriptwriter and producer) on participants projects. We develop the script form short synopsis to second draft of script together with production basics (estimated budget, financing and promotion plan).

new media in your school

for whom:middle, and secondary school teachersNew media are a big challenge for school, but also give a lot of new opportunities. When access to information is so easy and contact with friends are at your fingertips the boundaries between school space and what is outside of it are blurred – individual and group work, science and entertainment. This is a challenge for teachers due to clash the necessity of realization of minimum curriculum and a feeling that imposed topics make pupils bored. Pupils more and more often are brought up not only on books or television but most of all on the computer games and internet. According to the World Internet Project Poland 2010 report, as many as 71% of polish teenagers spend at least a dozen hours a week surfing the internet . How can we discuss with the young people unwilling to read a book? How can we make them more interested in reading? Is there any creative ways of using new media? Our project try to find out answers these questions.
